  • Your Enrollment As a Voter
    YOUR ENROLLMENT AS A VOTER When you register to vote, you may choose to enroll in a political party or political designation, or you may choose to remain “Unenrolled,” which is commonly referred to as independent. Choosing to Enroll in a Political Party: The current recognized political parties in Massachusetts are: Democratic Party (D) Republican Party (R) Libertarian Party (L) Green-Rainbow Party (J) If you enroll in any of the above parties, you may vote only in that party’s primary.

Choosing No Enrollment: If you do not wish to enroll in any party or political designation, choose “No Party (Unenrolled)” on the voter registration form. This is commonly referred to as “independent.” If you do not enroll in a party, you are still eligible vote in state and presidential primaries by choosing a party ballot. You will remain Unenrolled after voting in a primary. Choosing to Enroll in a Political Designation: In addition to the political parties listed above, there are certain legal political designations in which you can enroll. Currently these are: Conservative Party (A) Socialist (S) Natural Law Party (B) Interdependent 3rd Party (T) New World Council (C) America First Party (V) Reform Party (E) Veterans Party America (W) Rainbow Coalition (F) Pirate (X) Green Party USA (G) World Citizens Party (Y) We the People (H) Working Families (Z) Constitution Party (K) Pizza Party (AA) Timesizing Not Downsizing (M) American Term Limits (BB) New Alliance Party (N) United Independent Party (CC) Massachusetts Independent Party (O) Twelve Visions Party (DD) Prohibition Party (P) Latino-Vote Party (EE) American Independent Party (Q) The People’s Party (FF) If you enroll in a political designation, you may vote in the state or presidential primary of your choice.

  • Ex-Navy Pilot Wants Us to Take Ufos Seriously PILOT When the Two Fighters Got to When the Two Jets Got There, “Oh, Yeah,” Fravor Said

  • Tour De Grave Historical Notes 2012
    Tour de Grave Historical Notes 2012 There are about 125 cemeteries in Boston, including ones owned by private for-profits, nonprofit and religious groups, and the city. There are 19 municipal cemeteries, the largest number of any city in the United States of which 16 are considered historic. Only 3 of the municipal sites still accept new burials. (The Historic Burying Grounds Initiative – for municipal sites established between 1630 and 1841 – was created in 1986 as a public-private effort to upgrade and maintain these properties.) Since the 1800s, Massachusetts state law requires that “each town shall provide one or more suitable places for the internment of persons dying within its limits,” which has been typically interpreted as requiring services for the indigent. Boston uses Fairview Cemetery in Hyde Park for this purpose, with unmarked numbered graves. (The regular cost of a double vault is $2,588.) There are more than 42,000 sites at Fairview and more than 195,000 in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Roslindale, the city’s largest.
